One of my shortest Yelp reviews ever: I was at the Armadillo Den celebrating my friend's birthday and wanted a bite. Their fried pickles sounded pretty good. That's all I ordered, and I got a monster-sized serving of fried pickles. I was thinking I'd get a small cup because that's the food truck way, but there was plenty to go around and I was very satisfied, even with letting all the people around me grab some as well. They threw down. I'll probably go back next time I'm at the Den or Cosmic. RIYL: Fried pickles and ranch, but like A LOT of fried pickles, like you start wondering about your macros from how much they give you. read more

Biggies Yardbird - Fried Pickles - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Biggie's Yardbird sits inside Armadillo Den, the beer-garden-plus-food-trailers spot, which is honestly a very cool setup. Tons of picnic tables, a big bar for drinks, and even a little fountain you can sit by. Great place to hang out. I ordered the smash burger. It was... fine. Not bad at all, just not in my top tier of Austin smash burgers. The patty came out in pieces, which happens when it gets smashed a little too thin. Totally edible, still tasted good, it just didn't have that cohesive patty feel or the crispy lacy edges I like. I ordered through the QR code on the table, which told me it would take about 30 minutes, but it was ready in 10. Not complaining, but it's always funny when the system just picks a random long estimate and then surprises you. Fries were adequate, nothing memorable. Service was okay. I asked for a side of their special sauce, and the guy looked totally baffled, like no one in the history of burgers had ever asked for sauce on the side. Someone else behind him finally said, "I think he means the Biggie sauce." Now I know what to call it if I ever return. Overall: decent burger, not amazing, but Armadillo Den itself is a great hang. I wouldn't come back specifically for this burger, but I'd happily eat it again if I was already there with friends. read more

I had the food at cosmic and it was just okay not that good the menu lacks variety and the food lacks flavor I took a couple bites of their burger then threw it out it wasn't seasoned at all and it had nothing really on it wasn't good the fries were basic read more

So good!! The slaw on That Chicked Sandwich was really good, added so much flavor. I also liked the brisket burger a lot. What a great food truck! I went to the one at Cosmic and I think they picked a perfect place to settle. The food was quality and the gentleman I ordered from was very kind. read more

Biggies Yardbird - THAT CHICKEN SANDWICH - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

Smash.burger.on.point. We tried this out at the South Congress Cosmic location. Not sure if it was the pre libated taste buds speaking but this smash burger was all that you would hope for in a smash burger. Flavor, juiciness, and the right amount amount of pan crisp if ya know what I'm sayin'. The bread mashed perfectly with each bite and didn't at all steal the show. Not too greasy, not dry... it was just right (as Little Goldilocks would say). Chicken nuggets followed suit as flavorful and juicy. Perfect thickness...or should I say thinness to the batter. Sad to see that the South Congress Cosmic location is temporarily closed but maybe when in Menchaca we'll meet again. read more

Staff is super friendly! Our first time here and we ordered Fried Pickles, Mozzarella sticks, waffle fries, and 2 smash burgers. Everything was out piping out in under 20min. Food was pretty good but I did feel like there was too much sauce for me but it was nice read more

Ordered the Jesus Chicken Nuggets when I visited Cosmic Café with a friend, along with the mozzarella sticks. The nuggets were really nice, fresh, piping hot, and coated in nicely seasoned breading. The breading actually reminded me of the kind used for bento-style popcorn chicken in Taiwan, which was a fun surprise. I had expected more of a boneless wing-style breading, so this was unexpected in a good way. I was really happy with the portion size. I'll admit, as someone who prefers white meat, the chicken started to feel a little greasy about halfway through. The dipping sauce added a nice creaminess that balanced out the drier breading and gave the flavor a good kick. The mozzarella sticks were great. Six chubby pieces, served hot with that perfect cheese stretch. Honestly, that's the best part of mozzarella sticks, and I was really pleased with how fun they were to eat. I liked the marinara sauce too, though the sticks had plenty of flavor on their own. read more

The pricing on the menu is not what you're charged. Dirty business practice that I noticed on both things I ordered...

100% worth the money. Located outside a cool bar with several other food trucks. Food was TOO GOOD. Mozzarella sticky were cheesy goodness, fried pickles a salty treat, and chicken nuggets soooo tender. I ordered online and it was ready in under 10 minutes. I'm pissed this place is so far from me. read more

I feel like I bought food at the state fair. I paid a lot of money for something small and pretty greasy. It didn't taste bad. But the food definitely didn't look like the pictures. My husband's exact words when we opened the order were, "I feel like we got catfished" The staff were nice enough. It's part of a yard where they had a football game going. I think that's part of what you pay for because the price def doesn't justify the food. ($15 for a smashburger with no veggies $10 for a little basket of fries) Also, they don't allow kids past 6. read more

Ordered from here for the first time using DoorDash. The food arrived hot and was delicious. I ordered That chicken sandwich which was moist and juicy and the perfect amount of crunchy and the single patty Smash burger which was well seasoned with perfectly melted cheese on a wonderfully soft bun. My kids and I shared the sandwiches and ate them so quickly I almost didn't get a picture of them. Will definitely order again. read more

When at the Armadillo Den this past weekend, my friends and I got hungry so I decided to grab a few items from the Biggies Yardbird food truck that was there. There was only a short line but it went quickly and the woman in the truck who took my order was very friendly. I was texted when my food was ready which was in no time at all... the food was prepared quickly! I ordered the following: - Fried Pickle Chips: A bit odd that the pickles had a hole in the center but I guess that doesn't make a big difference. Each pickle was very thick with just a light breading. While they were OK, I wouldn't order these again. - Mozzarella Sticks: Perfectly done with just the right amount of cheese/ breading! These were snatched up so fast! - Jesus Nuggets w/ Fries: Very tasty and perfectly cooked! This was served with ranch which was delicious as well! I would definitely order from this food truck again! read more

Stopped by here to pickup a quick meal to go. It's inside the armadillo den garden. Was looking for something a little lighter so I got the biggie bowl that had either fried boneless or grilled chicken over a cabbage salad. The salad base was so fresh and had an absolutely delicious very light dressing. I also got to choose a sauce on the side for the chicken. Beyond exceeded my expectations. The person taking my order was a bit blunt but still kind so not an issue. read more

Burgers were decent but what ruined my experience and meal was the service I received. I walked up with no one in line and one behind me. The woman got up and in a monotone and bothered tone asked what I was having. I ordered two doubles, a single and fries. When my order was ready I went to the window and she handed me the food and I politely asked if she could bag it to go and i apologized as I didn't think about asking for it to go. With the biggest attitude she said Next time, tell me ahead of time and began bagging my food. I was so upset and bothered by her attitude and how much that bothered her that I told her to forget it and just give me my food. She kept on bagging it. I then told her Sorry for the inconvenience and walked off. I get to where I was going and saw that she only gave me two burgers instead of the three I ordered. She couldn't even do her job right, she had attitude and she lost three customers as my friends and I will not be eating there again. AND I GAVE AN INITIAL TIP THAT I NOW WISH I HADNT read more

We ordered Biggies Yardbird through DoorDash for dinner tonight and loved it! My fiancé got their chicken sandwich, which was delicious. I got the double burger which was also very tasty, with the cheese melted very nicely on the burger. We will be back again at some point! read more

Food wasn't bad but it's way overpriced. Items are pictured with fries online but everything is a la carte so it's a little misleading, and the description doesn't do a good job of clarifying. Got the sweet potato fries and they were also burnt read more

Did this place loose their moral or something? We have been coming here for years and the experience as of lately has been the worst! We ordered nuggets as you can't go wrong with the Jesus nuggets so we thought, sweet potato fries and a burger, the burger still the best thing on the menu but everything else burnt to the gates of hell! The nuggets tasted like they been reheated over and over again they were so greasy we didn't get through the whole 20 by the third one my stomach started to hurt. Absolutely disgusting no amount of biggie sauce could mask the taste. The older gentleman who every time we come here REEKS of alcohol we were surprised that this time around he wasn't yelling at us for trying to order, still very unwelcoming. The food quality isn't there anymore read more

My friend told me that this was one of the best burgers she has had in austin so I had to check it out. I ordered delivery and it was still exceptional!!! If you want some good burgers, chicken, apps then come check this place out. Armadillo Den is super fun bar and perfect for a bite while you hang and sip beers! read more

Biggies Yardbird - a burger and fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Austin, Texas

First time I ate here I said out loud that it was the best smash burger I'd ever had. Second time, the person at the register was also operating the grill so I asked if they were still open. Wasn't sure they were still taking orders since they were short staffed. I was friendly and jolly. They got super annoyed with me asking that and the experience went downhill. They didn't send me the text letting me know my food was ready and then when I went up to ask after 30 minutes they yelled at me. I've had so many burgers there that were amazing after those experiences. Tonight I asked for a single smash burger and a side of slaw. I always order a single smash burger - they have a double smash burger on the menu but for the last 10 months I've been asking for a single and they always do it without a problem. You could also order a single smash burger on their website/doordash. Same person told me they never do single patty burgers and that they were out of slaw. Okay, you're out of slaw. But I've been ordering a single patty burger for 10 months. They told me they've never done singles. I really don't get this person's agenda or why they give me grief. Everyone else there has been amazing. Food is DELICIOUS. They offered to make me one "just this time" but I declined because I don't want spit in my burger. read more

Had we known the portions were so big, we definitely would have split meals! My two girlfriends and I stopped by this food truck on a Friday evening on a pretty day. We knew they were slammed, but they didn't let it show. We did wait a hot minute to get our food, but once it arrived, it was worth it. The Jesus nuggets were like chicken nuggets but better and we dipped them in tasty ranch. The burger, sweet potato fries, and fried pickles, were all delicious. If we're hanging out I'm Armadillo Den again, I'm sure we'll stop by. read more

We tried Biggies Yardbird for lunch and later canceled our dinner plans at another restaurant just so we could go back to Biggies! This food truck is so good. Easily my favorite burger I have ever had! Their chicken bites and fries were also amazing. I highly recommend trying their food! read more

Pretty good chicken sandwich, good sauce and slaw on it, chicken itself could have more flavor. Not the best you're gonna get for the price 13$. Spicy boys is better and less expensive and their fries are 9$ and they refuse to do half orders. read more

Such a great place biggie sauce is so delicious must try!! With quick service and a great smile!

Great food truck - some of the best smash burgers I've had. The sweet potato fries, coleslaw, you can't go wrong. Team is super friendly and helpful as well, get the food out within 10-15 minutes for ya! If you're in south austin you have to drop by! read more

Without a doubt one of the best burger joints in all of Austin.. As good of a smash burger as Bad Larry's. Top notch quality made to order.. super thin smash burgers are legit here. I like the white American melty cheese and crispy fries. Careful with this place it can be addictive. read more

Food and service was so amazing!! The best snack relaxing out at Armadillo den! Chris was so great!!

I don't know about the menchaca location but the food truck located in cosmic gave me the lamest chicken burger I've ever had for the steep price of $16, excluding any sides. The burger was tiny, came with a slab of chicken, pickles, and Cole slaw, and that's it. Total waste of money knowing I could've gotten the same thing from p Terrys down the street for less than half the price, and it would've came with a load of fries and a drink. I know it's hard to make a profit out here but a $16 underwhelming chicken burger doesn't belong in Austin. Not to mention the cashier was super weird and I could tell they just threw the burger together, it was a mess. Sorry to be a hater, but yeah steer clear of this food truck. read more

Best burger in Austin. Always friendly and delicious. Michelle and Chris are awesome.

Unlike Lizz I don't review based on parking, take an Uber. It's not their fault they are a good truck within a massively busy bar. Other than that this is the best smash burger I have ever had in Austin. Thank you read more

The smashburger is awesome. You'd think it would be impossible to get the smash part wrong, but so many places do (looking at you Might Fine, among others). These have thin, crispy, lacy edges mmmm. Apps/fries etc are standard but burger is worth driving for. read more

it took a while to get our food and i felt a bit disappointed upon receiving it. the fried jalapeños and smashburger are the only things worth getting imo. the fried jalepenos are a bit spicy, nice and crunchy. the burger had a fluffy bun and it was overall pretty good; just not much on it besides the patties and cheese so you'll probably want to get more than just the burger. the chicken nuggets were dry and flavorless :( read more

Owner/Operator John and his hardworking crew provide delicious recipes efficiently. They have this menu down. Trust me get the "Double" burger and chicken nuggs. The dipping sauces will keep you dippin. Be sure to thank the grill master Jake in the ball cap as well. read more

Saltiest burger I've ever had. Ordered it several times. Always extremely salty if they toned it done a lot it would be good.

Delicious smash burger, fried chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Always cooked perfectly too!

If this was just about the chicken- it's really good. But, it's about the service! I've ordered twice and had it delivered. We've eaten twice at Armadillo Den. The last time, my wife ordered from the app. It took longer than expected, so when I went to ask about the order, I received a lesson about how third party apps take a percent of the profits and take away tips, etc. So, why have an app to order food? Well, it's because it's another way to get business and make money. Next time, try not berating a customer for ordering food from an app that You utilize to attract customers. I read more

We've been dying to get into Biggie's Yardbird. Reviews are good! We went on Sunday about 2 o'clock. Wrong! We could not find parking. There were cars circling in the tiny parking lot and one thing led to another. Soon they were horns, honking, and people yelling at each other. One guy in a big Dooley pulled in with a long trailer. He had a heckuva time getting out of that tiny parking lot. People were driving over the curb and parking under the trees. Parking on the sidewalk. Some cars were just leaving and disgust! Guys. You're losing business! read more
